How to ignore error and continue with next value in PL/SQL FOR loop?

Question

hi,
When the DROP INDEX statement fails it have to continue with the next value in FOR loop without exiting from the loop. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
DECLARE
CURSOR aud_cur IS
SELECT key_col_idx FROM audience_work where aud_ref_id between 106 and 109;
BEGIN
FOR aud_row IN aud_cur LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'DROP INDEX ' || aud_row.key_col_idx;
END LOOP;
END;
Thanks,
Noble

DECLARE
  CURSOR aud_cur
  IS
  SELECT key_col_idx FROM audience_work where aud_ref_id between 106 and 109;
BEGIN
  FOR aud_row IN aud_cur LOOP
    begin
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP INDEX ' || aud_row.key_col_idx;
    exception
      when others then
        if sqlcode = -01418 then
          dbms_output.put_line(' index does not exist ');
        else
          dbms_output.put_line(sqlcode);
          raise;
        end if; 
    end;
  END LOOP;
END;
